Preparing for use

Clipping with comb attachment

C1Before you start clipping, make sure the

head of the person whose hair you are

cutting is at the same level as your chest.

2To get the best results, use the hair clipper

only on dry hair. Do not use it on freshly

washed hair.

3First comb the hair into the direction of

hair growth.

ENGLISH6

C4Always move the clipper against the

direction of hair growth, otherwise it will

not cut the hair properly.

5Move the clipper through the hair slowly.

Using the appliance

Clipping with comb attachment

C1Slide the comb attachment onto the rails

on the appliance until you hear a click.

2Make sure that the arms of the comb

attachment have been properly slid onto

the rails on both sides.

C3Choose the appropriate hair length

setting.

Press the adjustment button on the back of the

appliance and slide the comb attachment to the

desired position.

The clipper has 7 different hair length settings:

-3mm

-6mm

-9mm

- 12 mm

- 15 mm

- 18 mm

- 21 mm

Start at the setting for maximum hair length (21

mm) to familiarise yourself with the clipper.

ENGLISH 7

4Make sure that the flat part of the comb

attachment is always fully in contact with

the scalp to obtain an even cutting result.

5Pass the clipper slowly over the crown

from different directions to achieve an

even cutting result.

6Make overlapping passes over the head to

ensure that the clipper catches all the hairs

that need to be cut.

7Comb the hair in the direction of hair

growth from time to time so that the

clipper can catch the hair more easily.

8To achieve a good result with curly, sparse

or long hair, you can use a comb to guide

the hair towards the clipper.

9We advise you to regularly remove clipped

hair from the comb while clipping.

Graduation

The Philishave hair clipper not only allows you to

cut the hair evenly at the same length all over the

head, it also enables you to achieve a smooth

transition from longer hair on top of the head to

shorter hair on the back and sides of the head.

1Start clipping at the setting for maximum

hair length (i.e. position 21 mm).

ENGLISH8

2Then choose a shorter setting and cut the

hair on all parts of the head except the

top, where you want the hair to be longer.

3You can repeat this procedure until the

hair on every part of the head has the

desired length.

Precise contouring without comb

attachment

You can use the clipper without comb attachment

to contour the neckline and the area around the

ears.

Be careful when you are clipping without comb

attachment, for the clipper will remove every hair

it touches.

1Remove the comb attachment by pulling it

off the clipper.

2Before contouring the hairline round the

ears, comb the hair ends over the ear.

3Bend the person's ear to get it out of the

way.

C4Tilt the clipper in such a way that only one

edge of the cutting element touches the

hair ends.

C5Only cut the hair ends.The hairline should

be close to the ear.

ENGLISH 9

C6To contour the nape hairline and the

sideburns, turn the clipper and make

downward strokes.

7Move slowly and smoothly.

C8Just follow the natural hairline.

Cutting over styling comb or fingers

This technique can be used to obtain hair lengths

over 21 mm. Bear in mind that this technique is

difficult to master and should only be applied by

experienced users.

1Remove the comb attachment.

C2Comb a small section of hair upwards. Lift

the hair with a styling comb or hold it

between your fingers until only the length

that needs to be cut sticks out.

C3Cut the hair protruding from the comb or

fingers.

4Continue this procedure and comb

frequently to remove cut hair and to check

for unevenly cut sections.

ENGLISH10

Cleaning

alcohol, petrol or acetone to clean the appliance.

1Make sure the appliance is switched off

C2Remove the comb attachment.

C3Push the middle part of the cutting unit

upwards with your thumb until it opens
